(TCP/IP) Server settings w/ multiple routers

This network used to have 3 routers (1 at each site), and 1 of them was configured with PVC's to each of the other 2 sites plus 1 to the internet. So all of the PC's were configured with the default gateway address set for the IP address of the router with the multiple PVC's, and the servers had the gateway set to the LAN IP address of the router in their respectful offices. They added a dedicated internet router and disconnected the PVC to the internet on the existing router. I added the IP address of the new router to the DHCP settings in the PDC server, and all of the users can access the internet and each other just fine. Problem is, the servers cannot see the internet. Since the servers are using static IP's, I manually changed the gateway to the IP address of internet router. Now they have internet but cannot talk to each other or the other PC's. I can't seem to be able to get the servers to talk to each other AND have access to the internet at the same time. I know I'm missing something real simple here.......

 

Have you tried adding a static route to your other subnet(s). For example: route add 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10

Use route /? to get the syntax.

 

Thanks for the reply Angel71, that might help with the remote offices, but I don't think it will help with the main office....

Let's simplify this even further - disregarding the servers in the other locations, the server in the main office is the one that needs help the most. So, I have 1 server, 2 routers (1 for the WAN and 1 for internet). The gateway on the server was previously set for the LAN IP address for the original router. The router handled traffic separation. Now comes the new router, no internet access but network access is still ok. Change gateway settings on the server to the LAN IP address of the new router, internet is good, no network access. I changed the gateway address on the server to itself, network is ok, no internet. Routing and Remote Access is disabled on the server. It has to be something so simple....

 

I think Angel71s suggestion will work. Do the routers have a route to each other? If so the server should be able to find the WAN and the internet.

And for your server, I'd put the main WAN router as the 1st default gateway and the Internet router as the 2nd default gateway just in case of router problems.

 

Router configs

What kind of routers do you have?

First off, each router will have an "all" routes to go off its WAN interface. If both of them have that, then each router will handle routes differently. From what it looks, the "WAN" router needs to have a route such like:

from cisco configuration:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Internet Router IP address (internal)

And on the same WAN router, you should have static mappings to your remote sites to properly route the traffic.
